The authors first give a comprehensive introduction to the many different classical methods from nonlinear analysis, variational principles, and Morse theory. They then provide a rigorous and detailed treatment of the relevant areas of nonlinear analysis with new applications to nonlinear boundary value problems for both ordinary and partial differential equations. Recent results on the existence and multiplicity of critical points for both smooth and nonsmooth functional, developments on the degree theory of monotone type operators, nonlinear maximum and comparison principles for p-Laplacian type operators, and new developments on nonlinear Neumann problems involving non-homogeneous differential operator appears for the first time in book form. The presentation is systematic, and an extensive bibliography and a remarks section at the end of each chapter highlight the text. This work will serve as an invaluable reference for researchers working in nonlinear analysis and partial differential equations as well as a useful tool for all those interested in the topics presented. 606 $aNonlinear boundary value problems 606 $aBoundary value problems 615 0$aNonlinear boundary value problems. 615 0$aBoundary value problems. 676 $a515.35 700 $aMotreanu$b Dumitru$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0721718 702 $aMotreanu$b Viorica Venera 702 $aPapageorgiou$b Nikolaos Socrates 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299965203321 996 $aTopological and Variational Methods with Applications to Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems$92495546 997 $aUNINA
